Yeah, ofcourse. Tunnel of Love is the best solo. It's the best song in the whole world ever IMO :D
My favourite...

My Parties maybe?

Post by: Rollergirl on October 09, 2010, 02:12:58 PM: well somebody's "worse" is bound to be somebody else's favourite. I bet we will not agree on one.

(edited after I realised that you did not forget the word "song" and you really meant just "solo" arf arf, I haven't been drinking (yet) .
Still, what I said about somebody's worse blah blah still applies so I'll leave it)

Some are better than other's, some are out of this world, but, that is what makes Mark extra special for me, he just can't play a bad solo, he has to much feel, and such a great touch.

Post by: Jules on October 10, 2010, 11:28:58 AM: I heard many of that in many Sultans of swings live versions, sometimes some wrong notes, sometime some wrong combinations of scales, sometimes looks he wants to do something different at that very same moment and well, better don

Post by: Pottel on October 10, 2010, 11:49:24 AM: mmmm, but that is not what i mean jbaent, wrongnotes in a solo, i mean a record version which is just bad.

Post by: Love Expresso on October 10, 2010, 11:56:15 AM: Then it has to be Hill Farmer's Blues from the album - because it is way too short! ;D

But, and I cannot understand why, Planet of New Orleans never really grabs me. It's the only MK song with a lot of guitar that I'm not particularly fond of. Is he playing jazz notes or something? I don't know what it is.

I think it's just a bunch of pentatonic cliches, but still done with impeccable taste! :)
I always wonder why they fade out just when a solo starts searing?

Oh and Dusty, too true about Private Dancer! MK should take the blame! ;D
